TC Electronic Shaker Mini Vibrato
TC Electronic · pedal
The TC Electronic Shaker Mini Vibrato is a compact pitch vibrato pedal offering a broad tonal range, from classic warbly vibrato to rotary-speaker territory, with more functionality than its three-knob size suggests. It controls speed, depth, and rise time to shape everything from gentle, seasick sway at slow rates to Leslie-style swirl and Black Hole Sun-type wobble when pushed faster and deeper. TonePrint technology lets players load artist-designed presets or craft custom vibrato sounds via the app and USB. Its pitch-modulating voice covers mid-70s warble, Beatlesque Leslie tones, Mellotron vibes, and modern bottom-of-the-ocean swirl. It suits players wanting versatile, expressive vibrato for psychedelic, vintage, and ambient styles in a small, pedalboard-friendly enclosure that punches above its compact format.
